Fascinating! How did this post originate? Did you seek these sites out to photograph or is your eye attuned to spotting these structures on your photo walks? Either way, I loved this. Thanks, Andrew!
Thank you Andy. I’d noticed and photographed a couple of them before without fully realising what they were. It was this book that formalised my hunt and I’m planning to search them out in other areas of London on upcoming trips.
It will be no surprise Andrew that I love this. The Wellington Memorial is familiar but I had no idea it served such a purpose. And the number of times I walked past that in Vauxhall without giving it a second look. Looking forward to part 2.
Thank you Harry. I'm pleased that I have shared some snippets of London you weren't aware of! Part 2 is likely to be around the City as I already have a couple in my library.

Amazing.
I have been fascinated by "inventive vents" since reading James Herbert's "Domain." Thank you.
Thank you for reading and looking.
Love these! The different approaches to integrating infrastructure into the fabric of the city are fascinating.
Thank you Rob. There’s more to come!
Wonderful stuff ... this is why I miss London so - always something around the corner to stir the imagination or grey cells ...
Thank you Richard. Yes, London never fails to surprise.
